Scott Draves, 44, was arraigned Tuesday in Rockford District Court on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, and two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct against a child under age 13.

The alleged victim, now an adult and living out of the area, told someone of the alleged sexual assaults in the home, Kent County Sheriff's Department Lt. Kevin Kelly said.

Authorities said they do not believe any of the day care children were assaulted.

"But it is a licensed day care, so there is heightened alert," Kelly said.

The My Buddy Daycare Center on the city's northeast side is authorized to care for up to 12 children.
